This is just one of several upcoming projects Lin has going at the moment, however. He’s committed to directing two episodes of True Detective’s second season, reaffirming the HBO series’ commitment to existential angst as expressed through the medium of high-speed chases. Speaking of, Lin is also in talks to do another Fast & Furious movie after reviving the franchise with Fast & Furious, Fast Five, and Fast & Furious 6. This Star Trek gig might get in the way of that, however, giving Lin a great excuse to gracefully exit the series.
